| - OK here's the deal --
11 - 4pm lunch specials for $4.99!
that's unheard of! :) and it's FABULOUS!
cheap eats, that's also DELISH?! :)
sweeetttt --
it seriously doesn't get better than this.
Chinese Muslim / Halel Food.
Every Lamb and Beef dish on this picture friendly menu is AWESOME.
go in for a warm lamb stew or chef's special soup in the winter,
or cool garlic cucumbers in the summer.
their beef or lamb chinese style pancakes are YUM --
delightfully puffy and filled with perfectly seasoned meat.
their house special beef noodle soup is cravable! you can taste the time and love in the soup base. ughh so goooood.. and the hand pulled noodles are as real as they get outside of la chine.
seriously? who cooks like this anymore outside of china? --
these are classic techniques!
the decor is kind of hilarious though, a lil step up from a hole in the wall, it's definitely clean, but it also feels like you're in the middle of nowhere china, really really first gen. like you've escaped the city. and nothing matches. the walls are cheerily painted like you're walking into the plateaus deep into china, starkly contrasting the leather booths and the crazy yellow seat covers that match the trilingual waitress's outfits (they mainly speak mandarin, some canto, and english).
the TVs are always playing old 50's chinese black & white talkies, and there are neon signs boasting great halel food!
the chef is usually out and about greeting the customers - he's won awards for his food, and i agree --
this place is seriously the best regional lamb and beef dishes
that's hit the east side of this city since... johnny's burgers.
i highly recommend this place! because i'd be so sad to see it go under because no one knows about it.
deserves my YUM YUM approval fo sheezie ;)
